Krasnodar GRES Project Volume I11 Environmental Assessment

Impacts
Reduced air quality due to emissions
from construction equipment,
trucks, earth moving machinery,
asphalt production, and temporary
boilers, etc.
Increased turbidity in surface waters
due to erosion from site clearing,
earthwork, and road and building
construction.
Pollution of surface waters from
sanitary sewage, construction waste
disposal, and site stormwater runoff.
Pollution of surface waters from fuel
or other hazardous material spills.

lmpacts and Mitigating Measures
Mitigating Measure
The chosen location of the construction site is
approximately 2 km away from the nearest
populated area which effectively elimi.pates the
impact of reduced air quality on the local
population. All diesel and gasoline powered
equipment used on site will be properly maintained
to ensure efficient operation.
Silt fences and/or hay bales will be erected in the
areas of soil disturbing activities. Vegetation will
be maintained and/or replaced as necessary.
Sanitary sewage will be collected and removed by
tank truck until an onsite treatment plant is
constructed and operating properly. Construction
waste will be disposed according to local
regulations. Site stormwater runoff will be
directed to an onsite stormwater retention pond
intended to reduce siltation and allow for floating
oil to be skimmed.
Fuel storage tanks will have secondary
containment sufficient to hold the volume of the
largest tank plus 10%. Hazardous materials will be
stored in approved structures providing fire
prevention and secondary containment capabilities.
An Emergency Response Plan will be prepared
detailing the procedures to be followed by the
contractors onsite emergency response team to
prevent spilled material from reaching surface
waters. In the event spilled material reaches a
surface water body procedures to minimize the
impact by rapid containment prior to cleanup will
be implimented.
